Liverpool and Chelsea Eye £42m Murillo as Nottingham Forest Face Defensive Exodus
Reds and Blues Enter Race for Brazilian Centre-Back
Liverpool and Chelsea have reportedly joined the chase for Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo, with Football Insider claiming both clubs are weighing up moves for the 24-year-old in 2027.
Murillo’s Rise at the City Ground
The Brazilian arrived from Corinthians with just 13 league appearances in his homeland, yet he has become a mainstay of Forest’s backline. Across 120 outings he has scored four goals and built a reputation for crucial interventions, including goal-line clearances against Harry Maguire in April 2025 and Savinho last season.
